Whether it is spring or fall where you are, the season is bringing big
changes, and so is CAST. Stop by our booth at Embedded World (EW) next
week, or just read below for some of the new and exciting semiconductor
IP news and products that we'll be showing and discussing there.




Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE)

Alliance, Cores, and Collaboration 

Ethernet over an unshielded single twisted pair of wires provides a synchronized,  low-latency  connection for edge devices using simple
cabling that's easier and less expensive to run than traditional coaxial cable. Implementing standards including 10BASE-T1S and 100BASE-T1, SPE is rapidly being adopted for industrial and automotive systems. We have joined the Single Pair Ethernet System Alliance and, with this trade association, are helping guide and promote SPE adoption.

Our forthcoming SPE-S Switch and existing 1G eMAC and Low-Latency eMAC
cores all support SPE. We've recently been working with onsemi, Lattice
Semiconductor, Fraunhofer IPMS, Future Electronics, and other vendors to
explore and demonstrate the possibilities of SPE. Stop by our EW booth to
learn more.




Time-Sensitive Ethernet (TSN)

Cores, Demonstration, and Aeronautics 


TSN is rapidly being adopted as a fast, synchronized, low-latency,
scheduled backbone for automotive and industrial networks. We offer
several TSN switch and endpoint IP cores, and with Lattice, we have
developed an informative demonstration system that will be running in their
booth at EW.


TSN is also appealing for aeronautic systems and potentially may replace
current standards like MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC-664. The standard for
Aerospace TSN—the 802.1DP profile —is evolving, and our partner
Fraunhofer IPMS is part of this effort. Read the latest in this white paper,
Time Sensitive Networking for Aerospace.




SoC Protection: Secure Boot 

New GEON™ Secure Boot Hardware Engine 


We recently introduced an IP core that implements a hardware engine
ensuring that SoC designs execute firmware coming from trusted sources
without being modified in any way. GEON-SBoot is a fast, area-efficient,
processor-agnostic, off-the-shelf IP subsystem that system developers
can readily use to build boot security into SoCs using RISC-V, ARM, or
practically any processor. Learn more in our press release or visit the
product page. 




MIPI: Interface IP

New I3C Basic Secondary Controller

The MIPI Alliance sets standards for the huge mobile ecosystem, including smartphones, wearables, automobiles, laptops, drones, and even medical devices. Through our Alliance membership we're able   to develop and provide a variety of MIPI IP cores.
The latest is the MIPI I3C Basic Secondary Controller. Learn more on its product page or from our press release.

The 2024 Embedded World Exhibition and Conference takes place in
Nuremberg, Germany, April 9–11. We'll be in booth 4-569 and hope to
see you if you're attending. If you'd like a free pass to the exhibits, go
